Isn't there an anti-spam policy for this list? Can't we disallow people who grossly abuse it from further postings? I vote we do this. Meanwhile, to the spammer, please go away.

The relationship between Linux and the system in which it is used ispretty closely related to the central topic of this list. So callingit off-topic is drawing a very sharp line. However, if that's whatpeople want, I won't bring up the subject here if others don't.

If people want to have a policy of banning people who bring up thetopic of that relationship, I hope that policy will be applied fairly.I am confident that the people who manage the list would not applysuch a policy in a biased manner, based on which opinion a personholds.

But instead of that, I recommend a more general rule that peopleshould be civil, no matter what the topic is, and never abuse orpersonally attack any other participant.
